Designed for studentds who want to seriously pursue robotics, this is the ideal track for you to apply all your existing skills and go to the next level. In this session you will build EvoDog, an advanced quadruped robot, completely from scratch, and then program and teach it to walk, run and do tricks on 4 legs just like a dog. When complete, take EvoDog home and use it as a pet around your house!
